How to Delegate Floor Plans to a Virtual Design Assistant
Managing the day-to-day demands of an interior design business can be a balancing act. You’re not only responsible for delivering creative, visionary designs but also juggling the technical and logistical details that come with executing those ideas.
Tasks like drawing precise floor plans or creating detailed cabinetry layouts can quickly eat into your schedule, leaving you drained and with little time to focus on the bigger picture. Add to that the steep learning curves of design software and the pressure to meet deadlines, and it’s easy to feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day.
This is where outsourcing to a virtual design assistant can be a great solution. Let’s look at an example of how Gina Halland, Founder and Principal Designer of Bliss Kitchen and Bath, reclaimed valuable time by delegating floor plan drawings to one of our virtual design assistants at 4Dbiz.
How to Delegate Floor Plans
Gina needed support with a complex kitchen and bar floor plan in ProKitchen, and she delegated this task to her virtual design assistant through the 4Dbiz portal.
Inside the portal, Gina was able to outline her detailed vision, upload the necessary plans and elevations, and communicate directly with her design assistant throughout the project.
The direction Gina gave her assistant:
- Draw the floor plan, including only the kitchen and bar walls and windows in ProKitchen.
- Add cabinetry as drawn.
- All finish specifications are attached.
- The glass cabinetry at the bar will have to have Solid Custom Madison Door style in Onyx to start. Prep for Glass is not available with a Euro door.
- Flooring to be wood – light color, white walls.
Execution: Kitchen and Bar Floor Plans
A few days later, Gina’s virtual design assistant successfully completed the kitchen and bar cabinet layout and elevations, accommodating all specifications and design requirements. Her assistant shared the completed floor plans via the Task Discussion in the portal, allowing Gina to review the results and provide feedback.

Gina’s heartfelt response:
“Thank you so much for your work on this! You did such a great job on this! Saving me so much time!!! I really appreciate your willingness to work with ProKitchen’s learning curve. I only had to add fillers and finish some sides. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
Total Time Saved: 3.06 hours
By delegating this technical, detail-driven task, Gina reclaimed over three hours to focus on other important aspects of her business.
